Description

Technical Field

[0005] , ,

[0004] ,

[0006] ,

[0001] The present invention relates to a repair and decoration tool for stockings, tights, etc. that can reuse accessories with fasteners, such as a bandage-type product with a metal fitting attached to a seal such as cloth or ribbon, a piercing-type product with a soft material cap attached to the head of the piercing and a catch decorated, or a clip-type product with a locking part attached to a clip-like fastener.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, there were repair tools for socks, but when putting on stockings or tights, they would get caught on nails and cause fraying, or would tear when taken out of the package during opening, and even unused ones had to be discarded when damaged. There were sock repair seals, but they could not beautifully cover the fraying of stockings or tights. There was also a tattoo seal that was directly applied to the skin. (See Patent Document 1)

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Conventionally, it was difficult to repair fraying during opening or use of stockings, and it was also difficult to secure a place to purchase and change into new ones when damaged.

[0005] <000!031>Also, stockings and tights with high decorativeness were expensive.

[0006] Garter belts and other accessories are used to conceal leg injuries for decorative purposes, but they can sometimes cause discomfort due to their constricting nature.

[0007] Commercially available costumes, especially those for children, are expensive, and many are excessively flashy and impractical for everyday wear.

[0008] Those with scars on their legs tended to wear dark-colored or thick stockings or tights because the fabric would show through even in summer, making it difficult to choose lighter colors or thicknesses. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To solve the aforementioned problem, we have devised the following utility model.

[0010] <Band-aid type> In the bandage-type product described in claim 1, the backing of the sticker provided on the back is peeled off in the same way as applying a bandage and applied to the damaged part of stockings or tights. The cute design can be used on its own, but the stickers are mainly made of fabric or ribbon on the surface and are shaped cutely according to the motif, and a jump ring or other fastener is attached to them. A recyclable accessory with a separate clasp such as a lobster clasp is provided. The accessory is attached to the jump ring on the sticker. Depending on the motif and purpose, the stickers can also be made of plastic, resin, leather, metal, etc. on the surface. The above-mentioned items are repair and decorative tools for stockings, tights, and similar garments.

[0011] <Pierced earring type> In the earring type described in claim 2, a soft, flexible material such as rubber or silicone is provided as a cap-shaped cushion on the head portion of the earring that comes into direct contact with the skin. The catch portion will have a decorative element on its surface. The catch part itself may be equipped with a locking mechanism for accessories. Pinch the area around the tear in the stockings or tights, insert the earring post, twist the head of the earring into the inside of the tights or stockings, and make the earring post stand up on the outside of the stockings. A recyclable accessory with a clasp such as a lobster clasp is attached to the post of the earring, and then a backing is attached. If the backing has a locking part on the top or side, the aforementioned accessory can be attached to the locking part. This can also be used with just the earring and backing. The above-mentioned items are repair and decorative tools for stockings, tights, and similar garments.

[0012] <Clip-type> In the clip-type described in claim 3, a locking part is provided to which an accessory can be attached to a fastener that is hard enough to be easily pressed with the fingers, such as a small clip, cord end, lace end, or bail-like fastener such as a snap fastener or A-ring. A recyclable accessory with a fastener such as a lobster clasp is attached to the locking part. The area around the torn part of the stocking or tights is pinched up and the clip is pressed and pinched with the fingers. It is also possible to use the clip alone. The above-mentioned items are repair and decorative tools for stockings, tights, and similar garments.

[0013] <Recyclable accessories> By providing accessories with separate fasteners such as lobster clasps, it becomes possible to recycle each of the above types. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to this invention, the likelihood of discarding stockings or tights even if they are damaged or run is reduced, they can be repaired quickly and easily, and even inexpensive, plain stockings or tights can be decorated with a preferred design at a low cost. This allows for use in cosplay and other activities where commercially available stockings or tights are excessively decorated, as well as for everyday wear, without being constricting, and can also be used to funnily conceal leg injuries. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0015] [Figure 1] This is a diagram showing the structure and an embodiment of the adhesive plaster type of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a diagram showing the structure and an embodiment of the piercing type of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is a diagram showing the structure and an embodiment of the clip type of the present invention.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are examples for explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention only to those embodiments. Further, the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the gist thereof. Furthermore, redundant explanations regarding the same components in each drawing are omitted as much as possible.

[0017] <Embodiment> First, the shape, structure, etc. of the repair and decoration tools for stockings, tights, etc. according to the present invention will be described using FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, although the means of repair and decoration are different, a locking portion that can share recyclable accessories is provided, but this is not always the case depending on the design and use.

[0019] <1> Adhesive Plaster Type First, a decorative cloth or ribbon seal (1) attached with a can fitting (2) such as a round can for accessory locking is attached in the same way as sticking an adhesive plaster by removing the backing papers (3), (7) on the back of the seal and covering the damaged part of the stockings or tights from above as shown in (8). When the damaged part is large, pinch the periphery and attach it. Next, a recyclable accessory (12) provided with a decoration part (14) is connected to the can fitting (2) with a detachable fitting (13) such as a can clip. Alternatively, a piece of fabric or ribbon with a decorative design (16) can be directly applied to the damaged area of ​​the stocking, or the damaged area can be treated as part of the design and placed around it. Furthermore, even if the stockings or tights themselves are not damaged, they can be used as decoration for cosplay, fashion, or to conceal injuries to the legs.

[0020] <2> Pierced earring type The earring catch (17) is made of an elastic material (19) such as silicone or rubber and has a decorative part (18). The earring head (24) that comes into direct contact with the skin is covered with a cap-shaped soft flexible material (25) such as silicone. Pinch the area around the torn part of the stocking, insert the earring post (22), twist the head into the inside of the stocking, and leave the earring post (22) standing upright as shown in (33). Attach the detachable fitting (13) of the accessory (12) to the earring post (22) in the center, as shown in (34), and put the backing in place (35). Furthermore, the following tagline structure is better for a more sophisticated look. In a case where an elastic material such as silicone or rubber (29) is provided with a decorative part (27), a locking part (28) for a detachable metal fitting (13) such as a lobster clasp is provided on the side, and a pin locking hole (31) embedded in the catch is provided, the accessory fitting (13) is connected directly to the locking part, so there is no need to sandwich the accessory fitting (13) on the earring shaft (22), thus reducing bulk. This also means that earrings can be used not only for repair but also as decoration.

[0021] <Clip-type> Small clips, lace fasteners, A-rings, and finger-operated metal fittings (36) have a claw (37) that grips stockings or tights, and a locking part (38) that connects to the fitting (13) of the accessory (12). As shown in (41), the area around the torn part of the stocking is pinched together, and the clip is used to grip and secure the torn part with the fingers. The accessory (12) can be attached before or after securing the clip. It can be used not only for repair but also for decoration. [Explanation of Symbols]
